This exciting A-level explores the study of English Language both as a medium of communication and as a topic in its own right, with an emphasis on debating different views and working independently to research aspects of language in use. The study of language as a symbolic system used to assert power in society is also fundamental to the scope of this specification. You will study a range of written and spoken texts and be given an insight into how the English Language has changed from its Anglo Saxon roots to the present day. You will study the key concepts of audience, purpose, genre and mode and will explore language in its wider social and geographical context as well as study varieties of English within the British Isles and consider social attitudes to, and debates about, language diversity. The course gives you an insight into the research linked to how children acquire language, providing you with an understanding of both their linguistic and cognitive development. You will learn how to think critically, how to use research to conduct an investigation and how to record and analyse your own language data with technical precision in addition to creating texts and reflecting critically on your own processes of production.
